riczhang Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 ^Musicals rarley win screenplayWest Side Story comes to mine for example.It's Hooper, and it's Miserables. The Academy still loves Hooper, and the novel is hugely popular, especially among the generally older Academy members. Plus, I know for a fact that many Academy members went crazy over just the teaser trailer, and they're going to end up loving the movie whether or not the critics trash it as it's just their type of thing, sappy, and sentimental. But, those god damn dutch angles are giving me a headache already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have Argo, Lincoln, Life of Pi, The Sessions and Silver Linings Playbook. Maybe not Life of Pi. I keep reading while the film is good the screenplay isn't really the strongest aspect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The screenplay is nothing special.Though I was the person who thought The Artist didn't even qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 5th spot will go to The Sessions or Beasts of the Southern WildBeasts won't happen anymore, its buzz is dying, and its not gonna be SAG eligible, which kills Henry's chances, and it's not gonna get WGA either, nor BAFTAs or Globes, especially the globes with only one category for screenplays. It's screenplay chances are dead, and so is Henry, and BP is hanging by a thread, I debated taking it out of my predictions last night. Only good bet right now is Quvenzhane Wallis, and if she gets nommed at the Oscars, she has a good chance at being the first person in ages to be nominated with no precursors at all. BAFTAs no, SAGs disqualified, so maybe the Globes or BFCA, but chances for both especially Globes are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) and it's not gonna get WGA eitherThe amount of films that were WGA-ineligible but got Oscar noms is legion. The WGA has incredibly fickle and bureaucratic rules about what films are ineligible. There's at least 2-3 films that are ruled WGA ineligble that go on to be Oscar nominees each year. Tarantino films have always been WGA-ineligible to name a big example. Edited October 5, 2012 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 After reading Les Mis's screenplay I'm fairly confident in a nomination, a win could actually happen if it absolutely sweeps, but most likely I'd say it goes to Argo as a Consolation prize.
